[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 1624358, member: 19675"] Sounds cool! You might want to take a look at Larry Niven's books [I]The Magic Goes Away[/I], [I]The Magic May Return[/I], and [I]The Burning City[/I]. As you may guess from the titles of the first 2, the world loses magic, then it returns. There is also a [I]Terminator[/I]-esque feel to it- except subbing the Undead for robots. Those movies may give you some ideas...perhaps the party will eventually be strong enough to go back in time and prevent Lord Havendash from making his deal...or breaking it. Of course, if you go that route, it should be VERY late in the campaign. Another movie that might help you is [I]Omega Man[/I], with James Caan. In it, James believes for a long time that he is the last man on Earth, fighting genetic mutants in a post-apocalyptic world. He's wrong, and eventually discovers this. There is also a graphic novel that has a similar setup, except with vampires- I think it was called [I]Legion[/I], but I could be wrong. You might also take a look at Rifts: Vampire Kingdoms. In it, all of Mexico and much of Central and South America are ruled by a vast empire of the undead. [/QUOTE]
